I'm Having Pelvic Pain

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is defined as pain in the pelvic area that has been present for more than 6 months. Pain present for less than 6 months has an excellent chance of resolving spontaneously. We are a regional leader in minimally invasive treatments for CPP. Unfortunately, many women with this condition are never given a definitive cause for their pain, and wander from surgeon to surgeon hoping to find a cure. We believe in a holistic approach to CPP. While this often involves surgical therapy, non-surgical interventions may be best in other situations.

Causes of CPP

Endometriosis

Ovarian cysts or tumors, including cancer (although ovarian cancer is often asymptomatic early on)

Uterine Fibroids or other abnormalities

Pelvic adhesions (scar tissue)

Musculoskeletal problems

Bladder problems, or other abnormalities in the urinary system.

Bowel or Gastrointestinal issues.

Psycho-emotional, including past history of sexual abuse or mistreatment

Others
